Principal's Message
Last Sunday was Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday. It is a day to reflect on the pain, suffering and death of our Lord Jesus in the final week of his life. The day began with the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as King to celebrate the Passover. There was an enthusiastic welcome from the crowds as he entered Jerusalem on a donkey. They waved palms, laid down cloaks and shouted Hosanna. This feeling was very quick to change with Jesus’ betrayal, crucifixion and death on the cross. The climax and most important aspect of our beliefs came with Jesus’ resurrection. Let us remember what this all means as we indulge in treats over Easter and not forget why.
Easter Prayer
LORD, Thank You for the gift of HOPE
You gave us on Easter morning.
Because of You we know
That no problem is too difficult
And even death does not have power over us.
Thank You for the gift of JOY
You gave us when You were resurrected.
Because of you we know
That no matter how challenging life may be,
In the end we will rejoice again.
Thank you for the gift of LOVE
You gave us when
You laid down Your life.
Because of You we know
That there is no sin too great to separate us
and we are incredibly valuable to You.
Thank You for the gift of LIFE,
You gave us when You left the tomb.
Because of Easter we know this world is just the beginning
and we will spend forever in heaven with You.
We celebrate You, JESUS,
With hearts full of praise and gratitude
For who You are and all You've done for us!
Amen.

Kinder Enrolments
This is the last week for applications for Kindergarten for 2022. If you have not returned forms or know of someone who needs an application, please take care of this as soon as possible.
Uniform
Students return to school wearing their winter uniforms. Please find accompanying a uniform list so that you are aware of the correct uniform. We have a number of students who are again wearing coloured shoes with their sport uniforms. Sport shoes need to be predominately white. Please use your judgement for the first couple of weeks of term with regards to what uniform is worn. If it is still warm, students may continue to wear their summer uniforms. Whatever uniform is worn please make sure that it is the full uniform, not a combination of both.
